  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a certain code, the data bits are 4 and the number of parity bits is 3. What type of code is this?

    • A) Hamming code
    • B) Cyclic code
    • C) Block code
    • D) None of these

    Answer: Hamming code

    Explanation: Hamming codes are a type of error-correcting code that use parity bits to detect and correct errors. For 4 data bits, 3 parity bits are used in a Hamming(7,4) code.
